COMPARISONS Whatever opinions our Liberal friends may have now regsrdlnk the rash promises they made when csndldallng for the 1919 election. there is at least one oft repealed promise which they will not deny having made 10r- the platform through the press and in person- ll canvassing. namely, that tbt-v would practise the most rigid ear nomy. that they would reduce ad- ministration expenditure. This. no one of them will question, the Patriot in it's most harassing extremity will not deny this.
